IMPROVE-MENTWMA'CHINES FOR PASlING THE nos OF COLLJARS.

. Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,204, dated May 9, 1876; applieationfiled March 3, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDGAR CARY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Pasting the Ends of Collars, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which i Figure 1 represents a longitudinal vertical section. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view. Fig. 3 is a front view. Fig. 4 is a rear view.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in the combination of a retaining-apron with the carrying tape or tapes which extend around the drying-drums, and with the table which supports the collars, and on which their ends receive the gum or paste, so that when the ends of a collar have been gummed and turned down, and said collar is placed on the carrying tape or tapes, said ends are held down by the retainingapron,'without, however, squeezing out any surplus paste, thereby saving the collar and the Working parts of the machine from becoming soiled. I

With the drying-drum and its carrying tapes is combined a discharge-tape, situated between the carrying tapes, and stretched around the drying-drum and over suitable guide-rollers, so that, by the combined action of said discharge-tape and of the carryingtapes, the collars, after having been carried round the drying-drum, are finally dumped at the rear end of the machine.-

In-the drawing, the letter A designates a frame made of cast-iron or any other suitable material. ble, B, which, in the example shown in the drawing, is firmly secured to the frame, and which, in practice, is so constructed that a rising-and-falling motion can be imparted to it by a treadle or any other suitable mechanism. In this table are secured guides aa,which serve to retain the collars in the required position, as indicated in Fig. 2. The frame A forms the bearings for the gudgeons of a heating-drum, O, and for a series of rollers, D E F G H I K L M. Two carrying-tapes, N N, extend round the drum and the rollers E, D, F, G, H, and I, asshown in Fig. 1, said tapes being so guided that they encompass about With this frame is combined a tafour-fifths of the circumference of the drum O, and that they run in slightly-inclinedplanes over the rollers D E to said drum. The roller.

K is situated above the roller D, without, however, pressing against the same, and the roller L is situated over the roller E. Round the rollers K L are stretched the retaining-tapes O O; or, if desired, a single apron may be substituted for these tapes. Said retaining-tapes are situated right over the carrying-tapes, without, however, coming in contact with the same. Between the carrying-tapes is situated ends of the collars are prevented from turning. up,-and, by the carrying-tapes, the collar is made to pass round the heating-drum, the pasted ends being held in contact with the surface of said drum, while the middle of the collar bears against the dischargetape P. Af-

ter having passed round the heating-drum to the roller I the collar is thrown off by the ac-- tion of the discharge-tape'on the horizontal branches f of the carrying-tapes, and finally dumped over the roller H at the rear end of the machine.

During the time the collar passes through between the carrying-tapes and the retainingtapes the pasted ends of the collars are prevented from s1.)ringing up, while at the same time the collar is not subjected to sufficient pressure to squeeze out the surplus paste, and thereby the bodies of the collars and the working parts of the machine are prevented from being soiled.

By combining the discharge-tape with the carrying-tapes I am enabled to retain the collars in contact with the drying-drum during 7 four-fifths or more of the revolution of said drum, and the collars, after having been pastedand dried, are discharged over the rear end ofithe w nachine, wherethey can be reaclily eolleoted. i

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a machine for pastingthe ends of e01 lars, the combination of a retaining-tape or apron, O, with the ca-rrying tapeor tapes -N;

the drying-drum O, and the table B, on which the ends of theeollars are suppliediwitnrpaste all constructed and operating substantially as set forth.

A2. The combinationofi arlischairge-tape-P,

*with the carrying-tapes N anddrying-dnum C,

said discharge-tape being situated between the carrying-tapes and arranged in relation to the same, substantially in the manner shown and. described.
